How is loneliness impacting young people in Australia?
Monday, 9 March, 2026

In this episode, host Nadia Rossi talks with Amber Brock-Fabel (Founder, SA Youth Forum) and Dr Ben Lohmeyer (Senior Lecturer in Social Policy, College of Education, Psychology and Social Work, Flinders University) about the findings from their co-designed study on loneliness and its relationship with young people’s experiences of bullying and overall wellbeing. They talk about the rise of loneliness amongst young people in Australia, the importance of creating safe spaces for young people and how parents may better understand what their children might be facing at school—and ways to support them.
